This is a very well written Kyrielle Sonnet. Perfect flow with good eight syllable lines throughout. You are forgiven for non rhyming lines - I have no idea if this is in order but it works well - lovely repeating lines and perfect 14 lines. Very good. Regards Dorothy

It's beautifully lyrical, and the rhyme scheme is perfectly done with subtle,
rather than blaring, rhymes. But I am not sure what I think of the introduction
of the word star (though clearly the star in question is the sun), I think I would
have preferred "Ol' Sol" and "sol" respectively. . . . but that's just
personal taste :)

Hello my sweet!
This was really good. So this is the technical name for some of the stuff I use in my own writing! lol
Great flow and the meter was a solid 8. The only bit that caught me was the start of the 2nd stanza. This I think was because the end rhymes in the 1st, while not supposed to, were close in sound tricking my brain into thinking that the whole verse should rhyme.
After a shot upside the head with an acme frying pan, the rest of the piece flowed like a slow melancholy thought.
Hugs Jo-Lo

This meets the criteria of the Kyrielle Sonnet as the rhyme scheme is correct and this piece has the correct number of lines totaling 14. Good alliteration with breezes/brush...summer/sun...droplets/deceive...startled/star...lost/lead. Good eye catching photo followed by a good message.

The lulling summer sun will grieve

when chilling breezes brush the trees;
the lulling summer sun will grieve.

this is really rather lovely, your words
setting the scene. Most enjoyable, Dawn.

Dear Dawn - this is a lovely work with solid rhyme and easy flow. It has such a haunting sense of impact on me. Sorrow can at times give us new perspectives. I found myself pausing, your images were just stunning.

I especially liked your final couplet:

"when chilling breezes brush the trees;
the lulling summer sun will grieve. " // wonderful imagery, and haunting sorrow.
Thanks for sharing it.
Maureen

Well, I'm not a poet so even though you gave instructions for Kryielle I'm dense enough I'm still walking around as in a forest but that doesn't keep me from enjoying the poem and thinking it is excellently done. I love the picture too. God loves you and I do too.
